Engineering Team Lead

Engineering Team Lead (Python + Typescript) — Bengaluru

Experience: 5–7 years | Joining: Immediate

About the Role:

Lead a small engineering team building high-volume, data-intensive systems that transform complex enterprise data into accurate, machine-readable outputs. You'll work closely with the founder on architecture and own system reliability, scalability, and correctness.

What Makes This Role Different:

This is not a pure people-management role. You'll remain deeply hands-on with architecture, production systems, and technical decisions. You'll also be expected to operate effectively in ambiguity and challenge existing architectural decisions when needed.

What You'll Own:

• Drive architecture across TypeScript/NestJS workflows and Python data/AI services
• Build reliable long-running workflows with durable execution, retries, and idempotency
• Design scalable data processing using Polars, DuckDB, Parquet, and streaming
• Build evaluation and regression frameworks to measure AI/system accuracy
• Own production systems running in customer cloud environments
• Lead hiring, code reviews, technical decisions, and mentor engineers
• Maintain clean boundaries between workflow orchestration, AI/agent execution, and bulk data processing

What We're Looking For:

• 5–7 years building backend, distributed, or data-intensive systems
• Strong expertise in Python or TypeScript, with working proficiency in the other
• Experience taking systems from design → production → ongoing ownership
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, retries, idempotency, failures, and long-running workflows
• Hands-on experience with high-volume data processing
• Engineering leadership experience — mentoring, reviewing, and raising technical standards
• Strong focus on correctness, observability, and production reliability

Strong Plus:

• Temporal or similar workflow orchestration platforms
• LLM/AI systems with measurable evaluation
• Polars, DuckDB, Arrow, Parquet
• Azure and enterprise cloud environments
• LangGraph / agentic workflows
• Docker, Terraform/Bicep, OpenTelemetry
